The Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) has forecast mostly cloudy conditions across the country for Tuesday, May 21, 2025, with isolated thunderstorms expected later in the day.
In its 24-hour weather outlook, GMet indicated that mist or fog patches are likely to form during the early morning hours along the coast and in mountainous and forested areas.
This is expected to give way to sunny intervals as the day progresses, with occasional cloud development across all sectors.
However, GMet warns that isolated thunderstorms, with or without rainfall, are expected to affect parts of the coastal, middle, transitional, and northern belts from late afternoon into the evening.
